      <description>Tdaxp, one day I will require you to spam all of your friends with a message about my site attaining #1 position in google search of a national news story about Elisabet Sunde. The reason I will do this is that the more sites link it, the higher it goes. 
And on that day, you must agree. And you will tell people that they need not pass this on.
In the meantime,

      <description>This time of year I always get fuzzy about what movies came out this year,
but I'll try sometime soon. RobVision demands it. This is my last night of
Texas. Tomorrow morning I fly to Cincinnati... Cinncinnati... Cincin...
yeah, that place. Then to SF. A couple 2 hour flights are better than last
year. 4 hour then 1.5 hour through Minneapolis. Plus I've got my shiny
Laptop to woo the ladies with on the plane *snort*. I'll type on my Apple
while listening to my iPod while reading a Star Wars book. I'll have to beat
'em off with a stick.

Review as follows....

      <title>Freakonomics : A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything</title>

      <description>Steven D. Levitt  amazon link
 Imagine a book that helped half the world make more sense.  This really isn't that book.  But it does answer questions that some of us have sitting around half-formed in the back of our minds.  Like &quot;Can I axe why you named Shaniqua?&quot; and &quot;Why is my kid suddenly smart?&quot;
Freakonomics takes on these questions and others very similar and much better worded.  Levitt is a very young economist that has been taking the older economic community by storm.  He doesn't have a theme to his work, he just sits down with a stack of numbers and people shut the fuck up and... (more)</description>

      <description>Mary RoachPerhaps I am jaded by my previous experience with the writing of Mary Roach.  I loved Stiff.  I could not put that book down until I had read every single page.  I didn't feel the same draw with Spook.It was definately a good book, I can't deny that, but it just didn't have the same appeal.  Spook is about trying to find scientific proof of an afterlife.  From a class on becoming a medium to being disgusted by the only lasting sample of 'ectoplasm' Roach goes forth with an open mind and an open notebook to try to prove beyond a skeptics doubt that some part of us survives after our...

      <pubDate>Sun, 04 Dec 2005 17:21:25 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Hold on, let me move my vomit pail away before I get into this review. Formulating a review for 'Aeon Flux' made me all queasy-like, but I'll muddle through it for you, the public. All 5 of you. I have never seen an episode of the MTV series this film is based on. I remember commercials for it so I remember the animation style. Other than that, I'm looking at the film as a stand alone film, much like I did with Potter. 


The trailer was decent. The studio didn't want to screen the film for critics. Red flag. I still hoped for a brainless romp. So little of my brain was actually activated I... (more)</description>

      <description>Ahead is the review I sent my uncle in response to his raging hatred for the newest Potter film. I will always try to keep my review fairly spoiler free, since I hate spoilers like I hate lettuce. 



It's in my opinion that whenever something is made into a movie a new continuity begins. No matter how much the films try to emulate the books, there is no way to capture a book on film. They are different art forms. A book is countless hours provided by an author and maybe a few editors. A film is 2 hours provided by hundreds of people. A film is changed a little with every person that... (more)</description>

      <description>by Douglas Adams



Amazon


I hadn't initially intended to review this book at all.  In a bit of a dry spell of good new books at the local library, I just wandered the science aisles looking for something without too many numbers in it.

The premise of this book is that the BBC decided to do a series on some of the worlds most endangered animals and they thought that Douglas Adams was the man for the job.  So he goes traipsing about the jungles of Madagascar, the savannas of Africa, and the bad hotels of China.  

I found this book refreshing, because it wasn't written by an expert in... (more)</description>

      <title>Bait and Switch: The (futile) pursuit of the American Dream</title>

      <description>by Barbara Ehrenreich

Amazon 

The premise of this book is that the author changes her name and goes in search of a white collar job, by the means she imagines are available to the average american worker &quot;in transition&quot;.  She does this by exploring every career coach, resume specialist, and career website that comes along.  She finds out that things aren't as easy as they seem.

I wasn't that impressed by this book.  I found it to be fairly unrealistic.  The assumption that is presented is that the average person looking for a white collar job is a complete moron that will buy into any... (more)</description>
